Does anyone really watch the Globe thing? I didnt check but can guess there was a live thread of it on here somewhere by the regular "I love the beautiful people" crowd!
Even the guys on Fox & Friends are saying they watched 24. Well, of course it's on their network but they are sometimes so starstruck I thought they may watch the globes.
Of course we are to suspend belief. But my job is to be the annoying guy who tries to find 10 things to complain about each week. It's a tough job, but someone has to do it.
Anyway:
1) It may be true you'd want different frequencies. But in this scenario, that would mean each of them has a different-looking detonator, since we were able to identify the frequency by what it looked like. Maybe that is the more obvious oddity, being able to pick up the frequency for remote detonation based only on a partial look at the part.
2) They even tell us to turn off cell phones in blasting areas, so I have to concede that cell phone frequencies could be in the range necessary. Also, cell phones naturally transmit over a wide range of frequencies, something over 1500 I believe, and choose them based on communication with the towers so they have the ability to do so, so again I was probably too harsh. Also, I realise that Jack is not coordinated with Ops, and Ops probably isn't using cell phones.
4-6) You are right, I'm assuming they are at the airport. If not, it is a simpler problem, how did YellowTieGuy get past what should have been a perimeter.
5) If they didn't smuggle in the cannisters, then this makes more sense, someone ELSE had the cannisters, the bad guys broke in somewhere to steal them, but needed the keycard. I see that now; I assumed that the airport use meant something came in on an airplane, but it wouldn't have had to.
7) You are right about the jamming timeline. They could have stopped jamming as soon as they had Jack. My bad.
10) I hadn't thought about the idea that the code could have changed monthly. Curtis was sent on ops last season, thus my assumption.
Boy, if I can't come up with 10 good things in a 2-hour set, how am I going to do my job when there's only an hour of material? I might have to cut down to a top-5 list.
Thanks for the clarifications and objections. I think I understand the plot a little better now.
I thought Edgar likes Chloe, but assumed she would never do anything with someone she worked with. Then he finds out she slept with the new guy. It's taking him some time to process that information.
Here's the ratings from last night...
NBC 'GOLDEN GLOBES' TOP OF NIGHT AT 15.2 RATING/22 SHARE... UP OVER 2005 [13.3/19]... FOX '24' IN SECOND PLACE AT 10.8/15 OVER CBS 'CSI: MIAMI' 9.6/14...
Does the end of one season (for ex. Day 3) run right into the start of the next (Day 4)? In effect, are there gaps in the "Days" or do they follow one right after another?
Cool series; reminds me sort of like Tom Clancy movies with Harrison Ford (Jack Ryan - CIA).
No doubt! And I didnt find a "Live Globe thread" on FR!
I'll check out the mail tonight (don't do mail access during the day), but I thought that issue was resolved. My note was a general reminder to all participants, not directed at any one person (it was triggered by your post, but as I said, "not to worry").
Yea, I just couldnt reply last night, wanted to get back to you asap - today. Have a good day
There has always been a period of time between days. It give's Jack time to rest up and take a shower. :->
And to recharge his cell phone.
What's the source of this ratings info?
Drudge.
That is a poor reflection on the American viewing audience.
Theyn didn't take over the entire airport. They took a large gate area and people ran out on the street. Then the cops set up a perimeter. They have the building to themselves, but they really don't control the entire building.
The snot blowing scene was too much realism for me.
LOL...my hubby spent the whole show asking when is that kid gonna blow his nose....LOL....I told him it was a little hard with his hands tied behind his back....
I think it was the same last season when the deadly bio weapon was released in the building. Didn't a lot of people basically freak and try to run, including one guy who know he was infected? In other words, while Jack, Tony, and some of the other CTU people exhibit the best qualities, most "average Americans" depicted in the show are cowards. Am I wrong on this?
There are clearly implied gaps between the days....sometimes as long as a year or more.
I don't think Jack could handle a day like these more than once every year or so ;)
That was my comment (reading this on Tues. morning): don't MOST of the "average" Americans, whether it's the hostages or last year's people trapped inside the building with the bio disease, act like simpering cowards? Wouldn't you like to see one or two of these people say, "Screw you. Shoot me standing up, ya jackass."
